I went for the whole enchilada with my LP tanks:

1981 which c/w a newer style regulator. Images: ID tag falling off

1988:  http://tinyurl.com/8o6qcpw   Pretty sure that was the OEM
regulator/valve.

Tank condition will vary as will opinions on tank refurbishing, but it
was my preference to replace them. I saved money by:

- ordering tank from busdepot.  RV shops I asked were ready to charge
nearly double for that part.
- removing old, hanging new tank.

Got shop to  install regulator and run new lines (sometimes old lines
can be repositioned to fit the new parts)

At the very least would suggest replacing the OEM regulator and revalveing tank.

A lot of info in the archives on propane tanks.
